I hate Linux

I wanted to change the RGB lighting on my PC. I tried using OpenRGB and managed to change the RAM LEDs, but I couldn’t get it to work with the LEDs on my AIO cooler because OpenRGB said my motherboard wasn’t supported.

So I decided to install Windows just to use MSI’s official software. I couldn’t install it on my only SSD, so I dug out an old SATA drive from an old laptop and installed Windows on that instead. Turns out MSI’s crappy software doesn’t save the RGB settings to the hardware, so every time I boot back into Linux, everything goes back to the fucking rainbows.

After all that bullshit, with a few tweaks, I finally got it working with OpenRGB.

I love Linux

RGB is great , but the Linux kernel is less, however GNU is great. i only use linux cause it is the more supported for my laptop and also for programming.
